Businesses – especially SMBs – tend to prize one element as highly as great functionality at a low price: ease of use.

Businesses – especially SMBs – tend to prize one element as highly as great functionality at a low price: ease of use. No matter how good a service offering or platform is, SMBs will not use it if the deployment and management are difficult.

EtherSpeak is contributing its SureTrunk service to the platform. This, Darling said, will enable companies with broadband connections to connect to the dual-box platform as easily as signing up for new phone lines.

“Where we come in is to turn on the server to allow access to any phone number in the U.S. or Canada,” Darling said. He added that the service also is available in the UK. Representatives from elsewhere in the world may be found when the product is demonstrated at Lotusphere 2010, which begins on Jan. 17 in Orlando.
